When Beauty Tamed the Beast


Title: When Beauty Tamed the Beast
Author: Eloisa James
Series: Eloisa's Fairy Tales
Genre: Fairy Tale, Romance



Linnet has been flirting with the prince. This combined with a poor wardrobe choice, and the everyone thinks she's pregnant. She is no longer getting any suitors and is ruined, without actually being ruined. Her aunt and father concoct a plan in which they arrange a marriage for her with a man who cannot have children, that way everyone is happy.

Piers is a cranky, limping, doctor, who doesn't want a wife. He hates his father and when he brings a wife for Piers, Piers doesn't want her.

The dialogue between Linnet and Piers was fantastic. They went back and forth with each other and they had me laughing at times. I enjoyed watching their relationship grow and what finally brought them together in the end had me in tears.

Although this is part of the Fairy Tales series, it is not connected to A Kiss at Midnight. This is only the second story of Eloisa James I have read, but I have enjoyed both of them highly.
